Richard

Since I took my little angel to the library, she has been eager to visit every week. As long as I’m by her side, I’m completely on board with it.

She has learned so much from those books, and since I prefer to keep her out of school, I take on the role of her tutor.

"Hos... Hos-tal. In a hosptal," she stumbled over the word.

"In a hospital," I gently corrected her.

"Thank you!" she exclaimed, giving me a sweet peck on the cheek. I’ve told her that whenever she feels happy, she can kiss me wherever she likes. So far, I’ve received several kisses in just two days!

"They took a need - ill... What's a need - ill?" she paused mid-sentence while reading.

"A needle, my dear," I said, running my fingers through her hair.

"That thing that goes in your arm?" she asked, recalling the few times she had to get shots after her parents passed away.

"Yes, but it can be injected in other places too," I explained.

"Oh... I don't like needles," she pouted.

"Don't worry, my love. I promise to keep any needles away from your lovely skin," I said, kissing her temple.

Mr Rumble

I observed Richard as he instructed her in reading. He even went so far as to teach the naive girl how to kiss him! While she may see it as innocent, he certainly does not.

"Are you certain about this, my dear?" my wife inquired.

"It's the only option I can come up with," I replied.

"He'll be livid," she trembled beside me.

I grasped her shoulders firmly, "That's precisely why we must be ready. Those two cannot be allowed to be together. He will destroy her and everything around her."

"So we truly have no alternative?"

"None"
